InGaN Based p-i-n Solar Cell
Abstract: AbstractA major hurdle in achieving ultrahigh efficiency solar cells is the availability of materials and corresponding device structures. The ternary alloy InGaN has the potential to achieve high efficiency due to its several advantages. However, the efficiency of a p-n InGaN solar cell is still quite low compared to other III–V technologies. In this work, with a view to attain better efficiency, inclusion of an intrinsic layer (i-layer) in the …

Analysis of Operational Transconductance Amplifier using Low Power Techniques
Abstract: The paper presents a low power design of Current Mirror based Operational Transconductance Amplifier. The analysis of operational transconductance amplifier has been carried out using conventional gate-driven and low power techniques realised with quasi-floating gate, bulk-driven and bulk-driven quasi-floating gate transistors. The comparative analysis of performances of the amplifiers designed using the above techniques indicate that the best performance is achieved by bulk-driven quasi-floating gate approach.

Prediction of Punching Shear Capacity of Biaxial Voided Slab
Abstract: Biaxial voided slab systems are advantageous due to their reduced self-weight, up to 50 % in comparison with the conventional reinforced concrete solid slab. The reduction in the concrete cross sectional area reduces the shear capacity up to about 40 %. The prediction of punching shear capacity in voided slab is not direct unlike in solid slab. This is because the presence of voids alters the critical failure section and …

Experimental Investigation of Effect of Soil Structure Interaction on Buildings
Abstract: In the conventional analysis and design, buildings are generally considered to be fixed at their bases, but in actual practice, the support condition depends on the type of soil on which it is founded. The flexibility of the soil medium allows the movement of soil and foundation, which decreases in the overall stiffness of building frames and results in a subsequent increase in natural periods of the system. Thus, the …

Analysis of Tall Structures for Different Stiffness Ratios of Columns to Shear Walls and Column Shortening
Abstract: Differential axial shortening in a structure causes axial force redistribution among columns and walls, and introduces additional forces in the horizontal members such as beams and slab. Hence, it needs to be considered in the design, especially for medium to high-rise buildings. The best way to illustrate differential column shortening is to conduct floor-by-floor analysis, generally known as construction sequence analysis. Commercial software ETABS is available for conducting sequential analysis. …
